If you chose your cut carefully.... tenderloin or loin chop cuts, then pork is almost as healthy and low fat as skinless chicken breast
PORK
Average per 100g: 123 calories, 4g fat. Health rating: ****
Technically a red meat, lean pork is almost as low in fat as chicken. Escalopes contain 1.7 % fat compared with 1.1 % in chicken breasts. However, streaky spare ribs are much fattier at 13.5 pc. Pork has a lower proportion of artery-clogging saturates than lamb or beef but is not as high in the unsaturated type as chicken. Its zinc and iron content is intermediate between poultry and red meat.
CHICKEN
Average per 100g: 106 calories, 1.1g fat Health rating: ***
Cooked light meat is the lowest in fat, but grilled breast with the skin has triple the fat content. On the upside, the fat in chicken meat and skin is far less saturated than in red meats, and supplies a better proportion of healthier monounsaturates and polyunsaturates. The dark meat is a much better source of zinc and iron than white but supplies only about half the quantity of red meat.

Oh come on. I love the Netherlands but of all its great contributions to humanity (and I'm sure I'll think of one if you give me a minute............. Johann Cruyff, Dennis Bergkamp - there's two!), cuisine is not among them. Most - make that all - Dutch people I know (which is hundreds) would heartily agree.
Being Irish I would say exactly the same about Irish food (and dancing - why do Brits and Yanks like that so much??). And the less said about British food, the better. Any wonder our countries have basically supplanted our dull and stodgy indigeneous diets with far more interesting and healthy foreign foods.

As for Irish food -my Nan from Cork and could whip up a lovely stew plus she brewed her own beer (yes, she was the perfect woman) but even she said the food isn't that great and preferred a Sunday Roast or Italian food.

The long hours needed for industrialisation killed the working class cuisine in Britain but it's back and better than ever. You only have to go to a supermarket to see the range of foods and quality on ingredients.
Certainly food in the UK is better than the UAE in my view. Most of the supermarkets here sell rubbish you couldn't give to a dog in England. Even Spinneys only barely makes the mark with say, Sainsbury's - and charges twice as much.
